I wonder what sort of requirements/qualifications they want to work there? The careers page doesn't really go into any sort of requirements.

They said in the livestream "if you're just interested in work - then don't look into Planetary Resources.
However, if you're like us - willing to put your life and everything in your life down and be the worlds most dedicated, you're free to contact us" or something along those lines.

I'm majorin' in Aerospace engin, but as of now, I'm in aeronautical emphasis, not astronautical, but space is amazing, so I'm thinking of switching over. Just looking at some of these images is inspiring...

Edited:

Also, just read the alcubierre drive idea. Awesome idea, but the problems mentioned in the article are pretty substantial.

I'm in Aerospace Eng as well, it's a lot of fun, it's definitely worth it not only for the fun of the study, but also knowing that with high marks, decent personal skills, and lots of experience, you can actually work at a place like Planetary Resources/somewhere similar.

A picture made by Planetary Resources to demonstrate their plans, cant wait to see how this turns out!

This sounds pretty awesome, I hope it'll get space exploration back on its feets.
I quite like the idea of self-sufficient space colonies, perhaps it could be put to use there ?
What happened to the space elevator idea, though ? Are they still looking for a material light and robust enough to support its own weight ?
